Read all about it in ourannouncement!https://newsletter.nextcloud.com//lt.php?id=YkxWDEgAAh0KBAZS

Much more!

There has been much more news, some of the most interesting of whichinclude:

Definitely. Seems like everything landed in the right place with nextcloud. All core developers have moved, most of community and app developers also. THeir open aproach is attracting more users and potential devs, and the developement pase is outstanding.

I have been testing nextcloud at my work place as we're trying to find good replacement for google docs and all other corpo crap, and I have to say I'm very happy with new development. I like the UI tweaks and general direction the project is taking. I've also tested collabora app, but I'm not too impressed with it. Mainly due to the fact only one person at the time can edit the document. I hope this is only temporary hack and guys at collabora will work on proper collaboration in near future. Apart form that it's a fast, responsive and decent piece of software. Still need to test spreed.me asI failed to install it on my first attempt (meet jitsi won that battle).

Generally I definitely advice everyone who wasn't move from owncloud to nextcloud to do it asap because it's simply worth it. I hope disroot will move soon, but first we need to finalize migration (had some roadblocks and so it's taking slightly longer then we thought), and fix the mobile upload bug https://forum.disroot.org/t/cant-download-files-via-android-app/420 (more about that in apropriate thread in a week or so). Our plan is to be able to jump on nextcloud ship by the end of september/first half of october.

Hi Noam. For end users nothing will change. Same website (slightly different ui), same sync links. We will advise to change desktop/mobile sync clients to nextcloud but they are very similar and the old owncloud clients will work just fine.

We just started testing nextcloud and would like to share it with you. You can access it via https://cloudtest.disroot.orgIf you have a minute please check it out and try to help us find problems issues, apps suggestions below.

!Note! Changes you make on that instance will not be saved when we officially move to nextcloud. This is for test purposes only.

New features so far:

You can now move around apps position in the menu (just drag and drop)

We disabled documents app and replaced it with Collabora (Libreoffice online) where you can view and edit all libreoffice/msOffice etc files.

is there any news according to this encryption problem? By the way is it cloud problem, or app problem, or docker/libreoffice-online problem? I have the same error messages (except for delay what was solved few days ago in new docker image) as described here: https://github.com/owncloud/richdocuments/issues/97 + in docker logs when encryption is on I see also: wsd-00009-67 19:04:46.477398 [ prison_ws_0057 ] WOPI::GetFile downloaded 9302 bytes from [https://cloud.local/cloudcrypt/index.p...

We wanted to introduce external storage feature where people could integrate their dropbox/gdrive into their cloud etc Without encryption this won't be possible.

Also switching off the encryption might not be that easy technically (but doable), and it will be hard to: - inform users - make sure everyone is ok with it

You can check yourself. Login to test instance with your disroot credentials. Xmpp works. Plus now we have spreedme (audio video conference) and by the time we move we should have audio video in xmpp web client too
